Ethical Profile

Mixed.

AdaptHealth Corp., serving approximately 3.9 million patients annually, holds accreditations from ACHC, The Joint Commission, and URAC, and was recognized as a 'Greatest Workplace in America for Diversity' in 2023. Its TRIR (Total Recordable Incident Rate) of 3-4 is reportedly below industry norms. However, employee reviews on Indeed and Glassdoor consistently cite "low pay" and alleged pay inequality. Demographic ratings on Glassdoor suggest lower satisfaction among Asian, Black or African American, and LGBTQ+ employees. AdaptHealth is not unionized. Critics also point to a 'High' ESG Risk Rating of 34.9 from Sustainalytics and a reported lack of specific public data on environmental impact or ethical sourcing.
